“Life is good. I’m not at all unhappy. I’m quite content to go about my life believing in nothing. With no fear that there might be something more out there…”
If there’s one thing to be said about Dexter, it’s that these writers definitely know how to open a season.
The first shot we see is of Dexter dropping a bloody knife. He has been stabbed in the stomach and is calling 911. When the paramedics arrive, he has fainted and fallen. How could this be possible? Dexter would never reveal his location or get himself into this bad of a predicament.
As the paramedics assess the situation, he jumps up like a jack-in-the-box and stabs them each with his signature tranquilizer. Now here’s the Dexter we know and love, keeping us on our feet like always.
So how have things changed for our serial killer slash forensic scientist slash vigilante? Well, he bought the apartment next to his, making it easier to slip in and out, Sgt. Batista’s sister (a college student) is Harrison’s babysitter, and he’s attending his high school reunion. (Don’t jump to any conclusions; he’s not trying to rekindle old relationships. He’s just going to kill Joe Walker, the old quarterback star who killed his wife).
Interestingly enough, this episode touched a lot on religion. Dexter takes Harrison to a Catholic preschool but doesn’t believe in a higher power. This leads into an amusing twist when Joe Walker tries to talk Dexter out of killing him because God will smite him.
Meanwhile, two new villains arrive on the scene, performing some type of witchcraft or unusual rituals. A young man (Colin Hanks) is being mentored by a mysterious older figure. They murder a street vendor (leaving his intestines) and later his body is discovered on a beach. They have carved symbols into his chest and implanted seven baby water snakes inside of it.
In the end, Dexter decides to enroll Harrison in the religious preschool, because “Who knows, maybe he’ll grow up to be someone who wants to think about ‘those kinds of things.’”
Of course Dexter isn’t the only character. Here are some of the subplots being developed this season:
-Quinn takes Debra out to dinner, planning to propose but gets interrupted by a shooting.
-LaGuerta is promoted to Captain by bribing a superior.
-Masuka is teaching college classes on forensics and brings his interns to the crime scenes.
